Mama's Broken Heart by Miranda Lambert

I cut my bangs
With some rusty kitchen scissors
I screamed his name
Til the neighbors called the cops
I numbed the pain
At the expense of my liver
I don't know what I did next
All I know, I couldn't stop

Word got around
To the barflies and the baptists
My mama's phone
Started ringin off the hook
I can hear her now
Sayin she ain't gonna have it
Don't matter how you feel
It (1)________ matters how you look
Go and fix your make up, girl it's...
Just a break up run and...
Hide your crazy and start actin like a lady 'cause I...
Raised you better, gotta...
Keep it together even when you fall apart
But this ain't my mama's broken heart

Wish I could be
Just a little less (2)________________ like a...
Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames
Leave it to me
To be holdin the matches
When the fire trucks show up
And there's nobody (3)________ to blame
Can't get revenge
And keep a spotless reputation
Sometimes revenge
Is a choice you gotta make
My mama came
From a (4)____________ generation
Where you get a grip
And bite your lip and save a little face
Go and fix your make up, girl it's...
Just a (5)__________ up run and...
Hide your crazy and start (6)__________ like a (7)________ 'cause I...
Raised you better, gotta...
Keep it together even when you fall apart
But (8)________ ain't my mama's broken heart

Powder your nose
Paint your toes
Line (9)________ lips and keep em closed
Cross your legs, dot your I's
And never let em see you cry

Go and fix your make up, girl
It's just a break up run and...
Hide your crazy and start actin like a lady 'cause I...
Raised you better, gotta...
Keep it together even when you (10)________ apart
But this ain't my mama's broken heart
